Shia LaBeouf -- Wanted Man!

We've learned a warrant has been issued for the arrest of Shia LaBeouf.

LaBeouf received a ticket February 18 in Burbank for unlawful smoking, a misdemeanor. He was supposed to appear in court at 8:30 AM, but neither he nor a lawyer showed -- so a $1,000 bench warrant was issued for Shia's arrest.

Shia was allegedly smoking on the sidewalk outside a shop called Skyblupink, a gift shop, when cops cited him.

We're waiting to hear back from Shia's rep.

13. This is too funny. I don't condone smoking, but while there are bigtime drugdealers and really dangerous serial killers, the government is worried about "unlawful smoking".....wait a minute, wasn't this supposed to be a free country???!!! Save the cell for a REAL criminal. This government is STUPID!! the government should be thrown in jail for being unjust.!!!

63. A friggin ticket for taking a drag...wow...Now I know some of you all have really got to be playing on others intelligence when you question who Shia LaBeouf really is right??? But in case you are serious ...Some of his latest work would be Transformers and Disturbia in which he starred in I helped you out this far now go google him and a text book that may help your brain no more than attempting to be a smart a%@ and not know anything...smooches!!!

Posted at 7:08PM on Mar 18th 2008 by Gots to b mo careful

64. You ppl must live under a rock if you've never heard of him. Ever heard of Transformers? or Disturbia? Try getting out more often.
Shia, I love you! Your hot! Now get your ass to jail!

65. Ok, so I just read the Burbank CA law that says you cannot smoke outside on the sidewalk. I don't smoke and even I think that's just overkill to the nth degree! If they want to have laws like that then why stop there? Why not some laws to prevent fat people from eating? Why not laws to prevent sunbathers and the skin damage cancers from the sun? How about one to prohibit the driving of motorcycles because of the possiblity of wrapping yourself around a telephone pole? Skydiving ?...forgetaboutit! Deep sea diving? No way!

66. I hate having to deal with the smoke and I think it is really inconsiderate of people to smoke in public places. However, outside of restaurants and public places I think you should be able to do as you please because the smoke is less bothersome. I'm sad that Shia is in trouble again. I figured it would be a one time thing since he said the thing at Walgreens was really embarassing :(

67. Lung cancer is cool. Wow, some dude no one haver ever heard of smokes. Dumbass.

68. WOW, the war in Iraq is over? We've won the war on terrorism? The U.S is crime free? We're out of a recession? If not, let's put government resources to good use, not on something as assinine as this. He wasn't lighting up in a dry forest preserve for pete's sake.

69. Just you wait all the non smoking fat people out there. The law is coming. It will be against the law to serve you in a fast food restaurant because the government thinks you're too frickin fat! I'm serious. Check it out. Oh, and by the way, Hitler make smoking against the law. Check it out.

73. And of course there are no rapist,murderers,drug dealers,or child molesters that the police could be getting off the street instead they need to waste time and tax payers dollars by ticketing smokers? You have got to be kidding me!

74. Ok, I don't understand the law in California, apparently.

I understand that you cannot smoke inside public places. But are you honestly telling me that you cannot smoke outside, either?

I'm not a smoker so it usually does not affect me. But this is bizarre; If you can't smoke inside, and you can't smoke outside . . . WTF???

Posted at 10:42PM on Mar 18th 2008 by pmc

75. Sue the city for writing this ordinance. Its time the Law need's to be taught a lesson. If the cops have so much time to chase this dangerous smoker then mabye they have to much funding and need to have it cut?
